Math Master Courses

AlphaStar is thrilled to offer a diverse selection of Master Classes for the 2024-25 academic year, designed to accommodate both online and in-person students. With a proven track record of success, these classes aim to prepare AlphaStar teams and individuals for prestigious math competitions.

Online Master Classes will be accessible to students across the United States and Canada, while in-person classes will be held exclusively in the San Francisco Bay Area (SFBA), providing an engaging learning experience for local students.

Our Master Classes have been instrumental in guiding AlphaStar teams and individual students to achieve top rankings in renowned math competitions. Below are some of our recent accomplishments:
